Answer:

The "leaves" in the poem refers to the "pages" of the poem that the speaker/writer is going to give to his lover.

Explanation:

Sonnets are the love poems written fr a lover, praising her qualities and even comparing her with various elements of nature to intensify her personality and beauty. the sonnet "Amoretti" was written by Edmund Spenser, an English poet and also a great writer of many other sonnets such as "The Fairie Queen".

The Sonnet I of "Amoretti" started with the lines <em>"Happy ye leaves when as those lilly hands,"</em>, where the "<em>leaves</em>" refer to the 'pages' of the book/poem. He is implying that the pages are lucky and will be happy when they will be turned by the lovely hands/ fingers of the lover (Elizabeth Boyle). He is also implying that the book/poem he will present to his lover are lucky for they will be held and touched by her, which he can rarely do himself.

Can anyone summarize the short story The Angry Kettle by Ding Xiaogi please?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are lots of language conventions, or techniques, used in this short story. I've provided some examples below. I hope you find the examples helpful.

I was walking to the nearest phone booth to call the landlady, when I heard that kettle's horrific scream behind me.

In this first example, the author has used personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object) to describe the kettle as "screaming." Using personification like this is an effective way of conveying the narrator's feelings, as those feelings seem to be manifested in her perceptions of the environment around her. The demonstrative pronoun "that" in this particular quote also attributes a special significance to this kettle, implying that it has already been the cause of some upset. The kettle is personified throughout the story, often as "that evil kettle" or "the demonic kettle." In fact the repetition (another common language convention in literature) of the personification arguably.

In the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence, the writer uses pathos as a rhetorical appeal. Thus, option A pathos is the rhetorical device used in the text.

<h3>What is pathos?</h3>

Pathos is one of the rhetorical appeals that are used in essays and articles to influence and convince the audience and readers by using certain terminologies that surge emotional feelings and connections.

The words tyranny, death, barbarous ages, desolation, and perfidy are used to provoke emotional appeal and thoughts in the readers. They are used deliberately in the text to evoke anger, pity, fear, and shame.

The passage does not use logos as no logical appeal is made. On the other hand, inductive and deductive logic is not rhetorical appeals.

Therefore, option A. pathos is used in the text.
